I have been hosting my project's website, in the form of a wiki written in perl+sqlite3, on sourceforge's web hosting space. The wiki has been working fine over the last 14+ years, but recently, when I tried to update the page using wiki's editing interface, for example

https://iso2mesh.sourceforge.net/cgi-bin/index.cgi?action=edit&id=jsonlab

I could not save my changes, the page returned an error
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Sorry, you have been blocked
You are unable to access sourceforge.net

Why have I been blocked?
This website is using a security service to protect itself from online attacks. The action you just performed triggered the security solution. There are several actions that could trigger this block including submitting a certain word or phrase, a SQL command or malformed data.

What can I do to resolve this?
You can email the site owner to let them know you were blocked. Please include what you were doing when this page came up and the Cloudflare Ray ID found at the bottom of this page.

I am not entire sure what policy has been changed that prevents my perl cgi script from posting changes to my sqlite3 local database. I was able to login via ssh and both the cgi folder, and the sqlite3 database db file are read/writable from my account.

can you let me know how I can make my wiki to edit again?

thanks
